A RADIUS Module?

Our sysadmin suggested I look into the existence of a RADIUS plugin for CMSMS.
While the FrontEndUsers module works nicely, it's a bit of a pain to maintain two databases of users, so I wonder if anyone's ever considered a RADIUS module for authenticating users against a RADIUS server?

All (most) plugins / modules are developed on
http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/
But if I'm right there's no module like that.

I know. I was wondering if anyone had considered building one? Just throwing the idea out there, really.

A radius module doesn't exist (yet).
Adding radius authentication to the feusers stuff wouldn't be too bad, but for the backend (where it would be more valuable), could be a bit hairy.
There's currently seperate user databases for the backend, and for the frontend (feusers). So there's already two separate login modules, and then if you're on a network and trying to access the backend (i.e.: for an intranet or something). then you're up to 3 user databases. Syncing or having one user/group model would be cool.
